The deceased captain washed ashore in Portugal in March 2018, per his obituary.  https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/may/09/rob-mitchell-obituary The sailboat is beached on rocks on the coastline of the Caribbean island of Nevis; observed on January 2019 and remains on Nevis today [May 2019]. Distance between Costa Teguise and Nevis is 3,200 miles (as the crow flies). Hurricanes Florence and Helene crossed the Atlantic directly between Spain and Nevis in Aug/Sept 2018.
